Affiliate Paradise

If you plan to start a ringtone company, you will want to research the different charges from other ringtone providers. On average, a ringtone can cost anywhere from $1 to $5 depending on the provider. You will want to keep your prices competitive as well as allowing access to a large inventory of ringtones in order to start a successful ringtone company.

Instructions

1. Make your own ringtones using ringtone mixing software from sites such as Myxer.com (see Resources section below).
2. If you are looking to sell popular ringtones through your company, you will need to have the legal right to resell ringtones. This can prove very difficult since you will have to receive permission to sell the ringtone from each song’s copyright owner. You might, however, determine that you want to become part of an affiliate network. Funtonia, for example, has a ringtone affiliate program that gives you access to 500,000 ringtones and real tones.
3. Decide on the prices that you want to charge for your ringtones. Prior to launch, you will need to set prices on how much you want to charge for each individual ringtone or set bundle rates.
4. Consider a software program that would allow your customers to gain access to your company’s ringtones. Ideally, the software will contain a website builder program that allows you to instantly set up a workable website to sell the ringtones. For example, Trade Bit retails the Ringtone Shop software program which automatically includes the interface required to launch your ringtone website as well as the tools to automatically deliver the ringtones onto the phones of your customers.
5. Launch your ringtone company website. You will want to use an e-commerce web hosting company to allow your ringtone company access to checkout tools. Site Ground charges one low price for all of its e-commerce tools. Advertise your ringtone company through popular social networking and cell phone forum sites.
